Understanding User Blog Creation using subdomains

Hello All

Just created a test BuddyPress site for an organization, and having some problems understanding how Blog creation works.

The install is at http://[companyname].com/%5Borg%5D

I chose http://[blog].[companyname].com/%5Borg%5D for the blogs

The “main” blog created fine, and I can post entries there from withini BP as well as using Live Writer. By default, it located itself at http://[companyname].com/%5Borg%5D/blog

However, when I create User blogs, I get a Not Found. They show the URL http://[username].[companyname].com/%5Borg%5D

Any help would be appreciated. I’ve searched the forums using Blog, Blogs as the tag but haven’t seen this addressed.

Thanks

Just an update:

I rebuilt my site, as http://www.[orgname].com and installed WPMU and BP without problem.

From Site Admin, I enables New Users & Blogs. Then, from within BP I signed up with a new user name and also created a blog, as [username].[orgname].com

When looking at …\wp-content\blogs.dir the folder for the blog isn’t being created, as I only have the “1” folder for the initial blog that gets created upon install. Site Admin…Blogs shows the incrementing number for each new blog I create, but the folder and files aren’t being built on the server.

The permissions are 755 for blogs.dir and all folders underneath it.

Thanks.

Can you access that 2nd blog?

Nope Here’s where things stand:

– created (3) blogs. They hae IDs 1, 4 and 5. ID1 is the default blog and works perfectly, with Admin listed as the User.

ID4 was created with a User account. However, when I click on “Visit” from Site Admin…Blogs, I get the following:

Fobidden

You don’t have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidder error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle this request.

Never saw that before
